• Sommario/riassunto: This book, edited by Rosita Di Peri and Daniel Meier, explores the intersection of space, power, and identity in the Mediterranean region, particularly following the Arab revolts of 2011. It examines the spatial dynamics in urban areas, the significance of borders, migration patterns, and geopolitical shifts. The authors aim to highlight the overlooked variable of space in political science analyses of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean issues. The book is divided into sections focusing on mobilizations, migrations, and places, providing insights into how public spaces are reclaimed, the impact of EU migration policies, and the role of film and architecture in post-conflict Lebanon. It targets scholars and students interested in political science, geography, and Middle Eastern studies.
